[Verse 1]
Em G
The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories,
Em
winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven,
Cm
wind in the wheat
Em
A railroad across waters,
G Em
the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers,
Cm
moon through a dragonfly's wings
[Chorus]
Am
Where is the wonder where's the awe
C/E D Am
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
F
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
C G
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare
Em
Where is the wonder where's the awe
C/E Am Em
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
C
Before the years take me
G
I wish to see
D
The lost in me
Em C/E D Em C/E Em
I want my tears back

A ballet on a grove,

still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend,
Cm
the voice of Mary Costa
